Sintesi

This good girl is ready to be bad…

He may be at a romance readers’ convention, but a naked woman in the elevator is not what horror writer Ryan Wheeler expects. Now he can’t take his eyes off of her—and not just because he saw her naked, though her luscious curves certainly aren’t helping the matter. She’s beautiful, funny, snarky…and a complication he doesn’t need.

Running into her teen heartthrob while naked wasn’t exactly part of romance novelist Andi Palmer’s weekend plans. Worse, he doesn’t recognize her and gives her a fake name. Years ago, he shot her down in the worst possible way, and now this? It’s time for a little down-and-dirty revenge.

Ryan’s more than a little turned on by this good girl who wants to be bad. But things aren’t what they seem, and the secrets they’re keeping from one another might just end this sexy little rendezvous before it ever begins…

Fun read

Another light, fun, sexy read in the What Happens in Vegas series! This is one convention I definitely want to attend.
Andi Palmer is having one of those day! That's how she ended up in an elevator with very little on to hide her girly parts. Of course that's exactly were she runs into her teenage crush Ryan Wheeler. He doesn't seem to recognize her though and even gives her a fake name so it seems only fair to exact a little payback!! That's were the hilarity begins and this one will keep you chuckling all the way through.
If you are looking for a deeply moving story with angst and heartbreak this isn't it. It's fun, light hearted and completely entertaining. I highly recommend it.

4.5 Stars
Andi Palmer, romance writer, was in Vegas for a book convention. On her way to a meeting she got stuck in an elevator with the only man she ever loved and never wanted to see again. Ryan Grayson, horror writer, knew she was familiar but never would have thought she'd mistake him for his younger brother Nolan. Every time he tried to tell her who he was she would stop him. He didn't believe in happily ever after...did he?
This is another great story by Catherine Fox. I'm sure glad it didn't stay in Vegas. I can't wait to read more!

Laugh out loud 5 star read

I Love a good train wreck. You can see it coming from the start of the book, but don't know when it's going to happen or if it's going to happen. Betting on the wrong brother has trainwreck written all over it. First when Andi mistakes Ryan for Nolan, then when Ryan doesn't correct her. Something is going to explode and it should be fun to watch. What starts out as revenge turns out to be much more. Revenge is sweet, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ? Maybe not.
The chemistry between Andi and Ryan is off the charts. It's like two old friends together with laughter, sexual tension and comfort.
The hotel sounds awesome, even with an unbelievable still in service elevator. Just so much about this story I loved and kept flipping pages to get more, more more!
My two favorite lines because they cracked me up.
Favorite lines:
She tried to push away. “I need to get off.”“Um… yeah.”
“I actually abused a prop gun, Andi. What did the gun ever do to deserve that?”
I laughed out loud, I shed a tear or two and I had a big cheesy grin on reading this one!

Wrong Brother, Wrong Motives. Right Ending.

⭐ ⭐ Provided by Publisher in Exchange for an Honest Review ⭐ ⭐
Judging a Book by it's Cover:
Bare feet, some naked or disrobed legs. Synopsis sounds like fun.
Looking Deeper:
Third-person POV. She's a romance writer attending a conference, he's a horror writer researching an allegedly haunted room at the hotel they are staying at. He also happens to be the older brother of the boy she had a crush on as a teen, the boy who broke her heart and destroyed her self-confidence. When she mistakes him for his brother, he tries to tell her, but she wants the fantasy of "two strangers meeting".
I really like the Ryan character, but was frustrated by his lack of insistence in telling her the truth. Andi was a harder character to like, for me, because she was driven by payback and revenge, while pretending to be something she wasn't as well. Their chemistry was okay, but I was turned off by the fact that he allowed a level of intimacy with her thinking he was his brother... kinda skeevy in my opinion. Secondary characters were okay. Dialogue was good, interaction was interesting. The plot had some fun moments, Ryan's such a good sport. There were some conflicts along the way, most were resolved well. Predictability was low. The conclusion was good, mostly solid. I'd have liked to have "seen" Nolan's apology to Andi occur face-to-face so maybe she could have closure on her childhood and move forward in a healthier manner. Also, it would have been nice to know what occurred with Allie, too, since that was brought up so often.
Overall, the story itself was fun, but the lack of communication following and regarding to the mistaken identity and the fact that he's having sex with and falling for a girl that thinks he's his brother. That should have been a big enough mood-breaker! Not something easily overlooked.

A chance meeting....

A chance meeting at a romance convention. Already off to a good start. Cathryn Fox really caught my attention with Betting on the Wrong Brother. I am used to her brand of sexy romance that consists of high volumes of sensuality that bring the body to a boil and touched the emotions. Ryan and Andi's story had some of those qualities but it also tickled the funny bone as well. A traumatic event in her past has made Andi cautious and introverted. Ryan has struggled with self esteem issues as well. The one thing I loved about the What Happens in Vegas series is that it puts romance writers in awkward situations and humanized them. I don't want to give away to much but will say there are a lot of surprises. I received an ARC of Betting on the Wrong Brother in exchange for an honest review. Catherine Fox got it right.
